Breweries in Kansas
Based on the breweries in the brewery.fyi register and their own websites, read September 2026.
Wichita leads the Kansas beer map, with nearly a fifth of the breweries. Topeka and Lawrence come next, and together the three cities hold about a third of them. The rest are spread across a few dozen towns, from Overland Park and Olathe to Manhattan, Hutchinson and Salina.
Most places listed are breweries, with a few brewpubs and beer stores. Where size is known, brewpubs are about as common as microbreweries, so a meal and a house beer often come together here.
River City Brewing Company calls itself Wichita's original brewpub, and it sits in the city's historic Old Town. Wichita Brewing Co. & Pizzeria signed a deal to bring back the beers of Tallgrass Brewing Company, a Kansas brand. Outside downtown, Blue Skye Brewery and Eats in Salina and Central Standard Brewing in Wichita draw plenty of reviews.

Planning a brewery trip in Kansas
Wichita makes the easiest base, since more breweries cluster there than anywhere else in Kansas. Central Standard Brewing in the Douglas Design District even runs its own lager festival.
Topeka and Lawrence are the next best picks. Overland Park, Olathe and Kansas City add a few more stops of their own.
Beyond those cities the breweries sit farther apart, so plan each stop before you drive. Every brewery page on brewery.fyi has hours, a map and what to know before you go.
